Altrok Radio is on hiatus.
It has been a privilege to bring you Altrok Radio.
Over the years, it's been fun trying to bring you the best in new music and relevant classics, but there comes a time when one must move on, and this is the time.
We know there's lots of other places where you can hear new music, and it may have been presumptuous of us to think, in today's world, that we could keep you interested to the point where you actually listened regularly, or told other folks to listen in as well.
And, apparently, clicking on advertisements at altrokradio.com was a bit of a stretch, too.
And God forbid you should actually come out to a club night we were sponsoring.
We tried to make a little money at this; we really did. But it was pretty much all for naught. We've finally come to the realization that, frankly, the audience for what we did at Altrok Radio was pretty much ourselves.
And for a while, that was okay; it was fun while it lasted. But nobody clapped loud enough or long enough for us to hear, and so now's the time to move on.
We're sorry we couldn't spend the time necessary to make it an actual contender for your attention.
Maybe we'll find a way to do it again in the future; while it's nice to think that's a possibility, it's unlikely. There's always hope, though.
But it's going to take some convincing, and probably a lot of effort on the part of someone who isn't me, 'cause I've done my best for seven years, first with the website, then the web station, and it hasn't worked. It's okay, I'm not holding my breath.
At any rate, time's a-wasting; we're outta here. Seeya 'round.

Hi Sean - You and I have met at the Melody reunions and discussed altrok a few times. I just want to say thank you for playing great music for so long. I, for one, can see that you really enjoy playing new music, and I appreciate your herculean efforts to bring a ray of sunshine to the people who listen. I hope that this is a slight case of burn-out and that you change your mind.
